Hi Birdseye, and . As well as location tell us a bit about what you fly.... Cheers, Neil

Hi Keith, Sounds good - let me know how you go! All the best, Neil

Hi Keith, We have not done any mods to our radiator setup. We run 50/50 Castrol Radicool (formerly called AntiBoil AntiFreeze) and distilled water, and we get temps in cruise around 100 degrees. It gets a bit hotter on a long climb, but returns to the 100 afterwards. The level in the overflow bottle stays pretty constant at the MIN mark (or a little above), but we do not fill the system up beyond that as it can expand and come out the overflow vent. From what we understand it should not be topped up beyond about a third up the bottle for that reason. Make sure you have the 1.2 bar radiator cap (SB-912-043 Nov 2006) and the correct size vent hole in the overflow bottle lid (as per SB-912-039 Dec 2002) Feel free to come over to Penfield and have a look at our Gazelle - give me a PM if you intend to. I can do most days apart from Tuesdays. Cheers, Neil

Hi Keith, Not sure you can make such changes to a 24 rego aircraft.... Cheers, Neil

Pair is a singular noun - hence :- "Please be careful where you step, a pair of glasses has been lost." Same goes for phrases like "a family" or "a class" -- they are each a singular entity made up of multiple people.

Hi, and How about a few more details? eg where are you learning to fly? What plane are you learning in etc etc Cheers, Neil
-
Hi Rob, and . Tell us a bit more about yourself - what do you fly, and where are you based? How long have you been flying? Cheers, Neil

Is flying dying due to cost or enthusiasm

Interesting indeed, GG. Thx -
Brilliant! Thanks for posting.... Neil

Hi Noddymajor & . You say "not yet" a pilot - so are you currently learning? If so where and what plane? Cheers, Neil
-
Hi Justnuzza, I have just done my tailwheel endo in that plane! Great fun. Is Bruce your instructor? Cheers, Neil

Penfield, Riddell's Creek, Romsey, Melton, Bacchus Marsh......depends how fast your plane is......

Wow! Very cool! Neil

Excellent video! Thanks for posting.... Neil

I'll drink to that!

Hi Maj, I hope to go along as I live nearby. Will drive if wx is crap. We met briefly at Natfly a few years ago, and it will be good to catch up and chat. The Lethbridge crowd are very friendly, and the airfield has just been upgraded with a tarmac runway and other new facilities. What info do you require? Hopefully I can fill you in. Cheers, Neil

Yep - saw them do the sketch live at one of the Secret Policeman's Ball shows in London (I was lucky! And I tell that to people and they don't believe me....)

You are correct - I should have been more specific. I still doubt I would fly over this populated area though if I am to be certain of remaining at least 1000ft above the highest point while still under the 1500 LL. As you say, there are a lot of helicopter operations there, which is probably why the BA is there. Cheers Neil
-
Hi Kaz, Yes - it does seem a bit odd. I doubt I will ever be flying there, but perhaps somebody who flies in that area could enlighten us? Cheers, Neil

....and I always liked these 2 from the US Visa Waiver form :- 1. Have you ever been involved in genocide? 2. Have you been involved in moral turpitude? ...especially as there was no explanation as to what the hell "moral turpitude" actually was. Turns out it includes crimes such as having committed "Mayhem" or "Pandering", which I was also unaware had specific legal definitions (I thought mayhem described my house on a Saturday when the kids were over - guilty, Milud). Cheers, Neilt

.....Does your memory ever NOT serve you right (87.2). ...OK, OK I made that up.....

Congrats, Ayavner! Well done on your achievement. Cheers, Neil

Hi Louie, Ever dozed off in front of the TV? (Section 3.4) Ever dozed off "Lying down to rest in the afternoon when circumstances permit" (Section 3.7) ...oh, and by the way "Do you use illicit drugs?" (Section 4.11) - coz people who do are REALLY going to tick that box, aren't they? I just scratch my head.... Neil

Thanks, Kaz - I see it now. Am I right that there are no Broadcast Areas in the Melbourne VNC? The VNC legend has BA boundaries as dashed green lines, and I cannot see any there. I understand what you are saying, rhysmcc, but if that should apply in all cases (ie non-Broadcast Areas as well) then Yenn's original point stands - i.e. they should state it explicitly in CAAP 166-1, which they don't. I am happy to do whatever we are supposed to do, but unfortunately that still seems to be open to interpretation and debate (hence this thread....) Cheers Neil
